The relative position of two circles. Theory

Let a circle and a point not coinciding with its center C be given (Fig. 205). Three cases are possible: the point lies inside the circle (Fig. 205, a), on the circle (Fig. 205, b), outside the circle (Fig. 205, c). Let's draw a straight line that will intersect the circle at points K and L (in case b) the point will coincide with one of which will be closest to the point compared to all other points of the circle), and the other will be the most distant.

So, for example, in Fig. 205, and point K of the circle is closest to . In fact, for any other point on the circle, the broken line is longer than the segment SAG: but also therefore, on the contrary, for point L we find (again the broken line is longer than the straight line segment). We leave the analysis of the remaining two cases to the reader. Note that the largest distance is equal to the smallest if or if.

Let's move on to analyzing possible cases of arrangement of two circles (Fig. 206).

a) The centers of the circles coincide (Fig. 206, a). Such circles are called concentric. If the radii of these circles are not equal, then one of them lies inside the other. If the radii are equal, they coincide.

b) Let now the centers of the circles be different. Let's connect them with a straight line, it is called the line of centers of a given pair of circles. Mutual arrangement circles will depend only on the relationship between the value of the segment d connecting their centers and the values ​​of the radii of the circles R, r. All possible significantly different cases are presented in Fig. 206 (counting).

1. The distance between centers is less than the difference in radii:

(Fig. 206, b), the small circle lies inside the large one. This also includes the case of a) coincidence of centers (d = 0).

2. The distance between centers is equal to the difference in radii:

(Fig. 206, s). The small circle lies inside the large one, but has one common point with it on the line of centers (they say that there is an internal tangency).

3. The distance between the centers is greater than the difference in radii, but less than their sum:

(Fig. 206, d). Each circle lies partly inside and partly outside the other.

The circles have two intersection points K and L, located symmetrically relative to the line of centers. A segment is a common chord of two intersecting circles. It is perpendicular to the line of centers.

4. The distance between centers is equal to the sum of the radii:

(Fig. 206, d). Each of the circles lies outside the other, but they have a common point on the line of centers (external tangency).

5. The distance between centers is greater than the sum of the radii: (Fig. 206, f). Each circle lies entirely outside the other. Circles have no common points.

The above classification follows completely from what has been discussed. above the question of the greatest and smallest distance from a point to a circle. You just need to consider two points on one of the circles: the closest and the farthest from the center of the second circle. For example, let's look at the case By condition. But the point of the small circle that is most distant from O is located at a distance from the center O. Therefore, the entire small circle lies inside the large circle. Other cases are considered in the same way.

In particular, if the radii of the circles are equal, then only the last three cases are possible: intersection, external tangency, external location.

Let the circles be given by a vector from the origin to the center and the radius of this circle.

Consider circles A and B with radii Ra and Rb and radius vectors (vector to the center) a and b. Moreover, Oa and Ob are their centers. Without loss of generality, we will assume that Ra > Rb.

Then the following conditions are satisfied:

Objective 1: Mansions of important nobles

Points of intersection of two circles

Suppose A and B intersect at two points. Let's find these intersection points.

To do this, a vector from a to a point P, which lies on the circle A and lies on OaOb. To do this, you need to take the vector b - a, which will be the vector between the two centers, normalize it (replace it with a codirectional unit vector) and multiply it by Ra. We denote the resulting vector as p. This configuration can be seen in Fig. 6


Rice. 6. Vectors a,b,p and where they live.

Let us denote i1 and i2 as vectors from a to the intersection points I1 and I2 of two circles. It becomes obvious that i1 and i2 are obtained by rotation from p. Because we know all the sides of the triangles OaI1Ob and OaI2Ob (Radius and distance between centers), we can get this angle fi, rotating the vector p in one direction will give I1, and in the other I2.

According to the cosine theorem, it is equal to:

If you rotate p by fi, you get i1 or i2, depending on which way you rotate. Next, the vector i1 or i2 must be added to a to obtain the intersection point

This method will work even if the center of one circle lies inside the other. But there the vector p will definitely have to be specified in the direction from a to b, which is what we did. If you build p based on another circle, then nothing will come of it

Well, in conclusion, one fact must be mentioned: if the circles touch, then it is easy to verify that P is the point of contact (this is true for both internal and external contact).
Here you can see the visualization (you need to click to launch it).


Problem 2: Intersection points

This method works, but instead of the rotation angle, you can calculate its cosine, and through it the sine, and then use them when rotating the vector. This will significantly simplify calculations by eliminating the code from trigonometric functions.
